I Don't Agree to the Terms

Chapter 999 526: Who Says Bigger Is the Core?

"*** was right, the entire village itself is a large natural Array."

"It's just that it doesn't seem to be a Teleportation Array."

A gleam flashed in Shura's eyes. If it's not a Teleportation Array, then it's a Transformation Array converting Bai Gui Sect humans into ghosts.

"Compared to the conversion process in the first two checkpoints, this is more formal, indicating the ghost BOSS is getting stronger."

In Shura's opinion, in the garden apartment, conversion was done through burning, extremely crude. The villa area was slightly better, at least there was a ceremony in the basement, but the ceremony was chaotic, like amateurs.

Indeed, they were amateurs. A group of rich men wanting immortality started experimenting as soon as they got their hands on it, naturally causing such problems.

"Not sure if we'll see those Zombies from before, *** called them defective products, but actually, sigh." Shura was pondering this issue as well.

The last checkpoint not only had a BOSS but also elite monsters, so this one surely will too.

So, he's mainly thinking about solving it in advance or at least weakening it.

'Even if we face a total wipe, at least we should get through this checkpoint.' Shura has no real intention to clear it. For him, the difficulty is too high.

So high that it makes his scalp tingle. He has fought challenging battles before, but this time the power gap is so enormous he can't find a solution.

One can only say the difficulty matches the reward.

Thankfully, he hasn't given up; it's not the end of the line yet, no reason to give up.

'A ghost is coming towards me?' Just as Shura was planning to return to discuss with Gu Shanhai, he suddenly sensed the approach of a ghost.

He didn't think much of it. Encountering fleeing ghosts in the village is quite normal.

'Better hide for now.'

Shura didn't plan to act, nor did he intend to show off in front of ghosts. The Grand Heaven rank was in charge of this part, and he wouldn't mess up their plans.

He quietly disappeared, but didn't leave immediately.

The position was special, a node of the Transformation Array. He needed to see if the ghost was coincidentally fleeing here or had a purpose.

If the former, then fine. But if the latter, it couldn't be allowed to stay. Scare the ghost away first, then let the Grand Heaven rank eliminate it.

"Finally escaped from that Killing Ghost Man, phew~" The Hanging Ghost sighed in relief. He was truly miserable, with that Killing Ghost Man's presence constantly behind him, the oppressive feeling almost suffocating him, though since he's not human, he can't really suffocate, only almost.

"This place should serve as a good rest..." Just as the Hanging Ghost planned to use this spot as a hideout, he noticed in the moonlight, a shadow stretched long and already reached his feet.

In an instant, without thinking, the Hanging Ghost bolted away.

Why stay longer? There's no doubt it's the Killing Ghost Man coming. If not a person, what could cast such a shadow?

"At least it has a brain." Shura quipped, then dissolved his disguise.

Through some tricks, he disguised as the Grand Heaven rank, not expecting the Hanging Ghost to flee without even looking up.

All of Shura's efforts were wasted.

"Great, I chased after that ghost with all my might, and you still managed to trick it." The Grand Heaven rank emerged from the moonlight, teasing Shura.

"Why do you care about this? Besides, it's not like you were in the right place. Why blame me?" Shura, having found some clues, was in a better mood.

"Looks like you found something. How sure are you about resolving it?" The Grand Heaven rank shifted the topic when he heard this.

"The certainty doesn't lie with me, but with ***. Among the three of us, only *** is the technical person. I still haven't figured out what's going on with the Array." Shura is specialized in combat. He can deduce that the whole village is covered by the Transformation Array, but he can't explain what the Transformation Array actually is.

As for usual instance runs, either teammates know, or "First Era" arranges everything; he just fights, no need for all these fancy things.

Not knowing arrays leads to pitfalls? He might not be knowledgeable, but he can certainly destroy an Array.

"Well, it all depends on him." The Grand Heaven rank could only say human effort matters, as he doesn't know it either.

It's not that he doesn't know Arrays, but he knows different ones. The Netherworld system he's specialized in includes related skills, mostly serving combat, and weren't set by him but by Cui Yingying. Their Arrays are unique, set in the void with soul power, no materials needed.

The strength depends on their soul strength.

"I'll continue catching... ahem, catching ghosts." The Grand Heaven rank stood and left after speaking.

"Wait, pay extra attention to these positions; they are nodes of the village Array."

"See if any more ghosts are assigned here. I suspect there might be completion seeds among them."

"We've done so much for the All Ghosts Survival Platform; if we get no reaction, that would be the real problem."
